To ensure the efficiency of this process, I kindly request your prompt attention and cooperation in providing the following medical records: 1. Complete medical history: This includes all relevant records documenting any previous diagnoses, treatments, surgeries, medications, and test results related to the claimant's disabling condition. It would be highly beneficial if this record encompasses the earliest consultation through to the present. 2. Progress notes: It is crucial to obtain copies of progress notes documenting the frequency and nature of visits along with any treatments, evaluations, or observations made during each appointment. These records will provide an accurate representation of the claimant's ongoing condition management. 3. Laboratory and diagnostic test results: Please include a complete set of test results, such as blood work, imaging (X-rays, CT scans, MRIs), biopsies, electrocardiograms, or any other relevant exams. These results are essential in establishing the objective severity and impact of the claimant's condition. 4. Specialist reports: Any specialist consultations related to the client's impairments should be included. These may pertain to a particular discipline, such as orthopedics, neurology, psychiatry, or any other relevant field where the claimant has sought expert advice. 5. Mental health records: If the claimant has received mental health treatment, please ensure the inclusion of all psychotherapy notes, counseling records, psychiatric evaluations, and any other relevant documents that support the client's mental impairment claim.
